A lot of San Francisco

San Francisco is an amazing city... I guess that's why I've been going there so often recently.

Thursday.
Got lost in San Francisco. But then Will found us and we had Frjtz in the Mission.

The Cashier suggested- Pears, Cheese, focaccia bread. Delicious. What made it even more delicious was that it was 7 dollars with a dessert and ice tea!

Will inspires me... and made me realize how cynical I've become. That's what life does to you, huh?


Friday.

When ever Sandy comes up to San Jose, she invites me out to GOOD Vietnamese food. Last time was Banh Xeo. This time it was Bun Bo Hue! Central Vietnamese food rocks! We went to her favorite place, but it was okay.. the broth was too clean. I need a lot VietNam dirt in my noodle dishes.

Then off to the Castro. I borrowed a flask.... and wow, what a brilliant idea. Like an unemployed bastard, I asked for a free soda, then snuck into the bathroom where I poured in my middle shelf vodkah! Better than drinking in the car.



My shirt is ridiculously blue. Carl said that I was the first good gay friend he made in the bay area. And of course, now he's leaving for New York. Bastard. He sort of completes a social circle and =/ Ugh, and just when we've warmed up to each other... he departs... to better things.



Hey Alexander Chen, you've been photobombed by LETOPHO at Lime!
I knew it was you!

Saturday
Sandy dragged me everywhere.

Breakfast in the Mission and the Lao New Years Festival at the Civic Center.
I ran into this girl and we both acknowledged each other, "Um.. hey how do I know you??"
"From the last night, the Castro?"
Wow... ooops, this is why I take pictures.


The San Francisco Main Library, back to the Mission and the Sisterhood of Perpetual Self Indulgence... something was going on.



We had a picnic in Dolores park- Watched hipsters dance to electronica while smoking pot and hating on each other. "*Scoff* he's been listening to Justice for an hour.... *scoff, those jeans aren't tight enough... *scoff* I need a Cigarette" All while pushing back their untrimmed bangs. *SCOFFF*

And then we drove to the top of a hill where Sandy's friend had a plot in a community garden.
Ended the trip with terrible El Salvador food, apparently pupusas taste better deep friend.



ooooo.. baby Strawberries.

Monday
Carl, Suegol and I celebrated Monday at the new Bar on Church.

Has anyone seen his balls? They seem to be missing.
I know skinny jeans are in, but good lord... his sperm count must have depleted! Not even the new iPod Shuffle will fit in there.

I drank too much for a Monday. I bought a round, but both Carl and Suegol weren't feeling their drinks... so I drank them. Hmm... Jack in Box's new Sirloin sliders are to die for.

Spring Cleaning

I dropped my hard drive and the computer no longer recognized it.
Szeto suggested dropping it again so that the loose parts may get realigned. (like hitting a juke box)
Now.. it doesn't even turn on.

Sigh.
There goes 52 Gigs of prOn collected since high school on my 56K, TV shows... and some pictures.. =X

There's no point in grieving.

==

I painted an accent wall in my room a forest green, it looks more grown up.

==

I also donated poorly fitting, and bleached stained clothes.

It feels good to start fresh.

Don't Let People You Know become People You Knew

I haven't talked to Smyr in what feels to be like a century. I feel like he's grown up too fast being a high school biology teacher and recently getting back together with a college love.

But when his birthday rolled around and he had dinner with his best friends (his mom and dad) I made him a nice birthday card from scratch using old pictures. Essentially, to remind him to slow down and realize that he's only 24 and even though we haven't talked, I still consider him a good old friend.

I wonder, why I value him so much even though he's been out of sight. The answer is simple: because he is my only straight guy friend... who I haven't seduced... jk...... I have seduced him, but nevertheless it's because of high school, college and graduation. But look at all these hilarious high school pictures I found!!!!





Prom, lifeguarding, road trips, Berkeley, turning 21... You don't forget shit like that. And even though you grow a part, you still reserve a little spot for them in your heart.

And I think part of the reason is my activities may be a bit too gay for his liking. I think I tricked him in going to too many gay clubs that's he doesn't trust me anymore =X.

==

Lately, I've been going on a quest to make new friends (or rather new lovers). And I know exactly why. When ONCE AGAIN, I should be concentrating on the good friends that I already have. Duh. (And make lovers out of them, jk).

I'm going to start a new label: People.

Because it's important to realize who has impacted your life... and that growing a part doesn't mean ending a friendship.

This is Huan
This is Caitlin
These are My Boys

The Scary Curl!

...yeah... high school.

This... is a bad idea.

I stopped reading Craigslist a long time ago because it was getting old...

"I want you to FUCK me from behind! Straight acting only. White ++++"

It wasn't funny anymore. Then my friend send me the ad below:

At the suggestion of my friend, I decided it was time to jump back into dating after one year of absence.

Me:
Single, Hispanic&Asian, male who is seeking an Asian or White guy for something casual/nonchalant, like a cup of tea (I don't drink coffee) or a movie. My interests include reading everything from wikipedia to classic works of literature, jogging in the spring rain, yelping about my favorite restaurants, and spending quality time w/ nature. My demeanor is reserved/shy/a tad "socially awkward," but once I open up, I'm a blast of personality and wit. My looks are fluctuating, sometimes I feel like a mess and in rare days do I feel comfortable within my own skin. I guess this is still part of being a teenager (lol). I'm 5'9ish, slim, tan, dark brown eyes/hair. I have two conspicuous tattoos that I acquired during my first year of undergrad. Speaking of school, I studied international studies: political science at UCSD last year and I still plan to complete my degree.

You:
I'm mostly attracted to White or Asian guys but I wouldn't discriminate if there was truly a connection with somebody (it is my belief that love is color blind). Be around 19-30, somewhat fit, in school/graduated, conscientious about the world we live in, and charismatic. If things go horribly wrong (no mutual attraction) I would like to be on friendly terms. People that use the words "str8acting," "retarded (in a pejorative sense)," best not answer my ad.

I have more pictures (they may be misleading...hahaha) that I would exchange and then things can go on from there. Please respond w/ a picture (not all gay guys are shallow). I like to envision whom I'm writing to.

P.S. Extra points for those who can identify the man on my pic attached : - )

==

Are you shitting me?! I love this guy already.
One problem: he's 19. Oh fuck.

No, I promised myself not to meet boys off craigslist ever since James.

...but a cup of tea wouldn't hurt right? Fuck.

I'm going to respond.

==

What about the 19 year old behaviorist? I don't think he likes me anymore. :\

==

Ugh.. where are the interesting 25 year olds?

Mobile Uploads III

Mobile Uploads I
Mobile Uploads II

If I don't have my Camera... I have my phone.

I Hang

She smokes while she sits on her dog's bed... she's buzzed

He smokes, while he sips on a Jamba Juice after the Gym... it's so "Sex in the City"


We stand, while we wait for Hip-hop Class to Begin... it looks easy.


I Eat.. fancy



I Eat Here because there are pictures and strawberries on my pizza.


I look good in your jacket you never wear.


I don't know if it's worth buying... so I text my friends for fashion advice

"No, everyone has that, and yes."

I think this store is a Mess


Only in San Jose


It says: he lost 66 lbs. Looks more like he put on a t-shirt and is standing next to a girl. I don't think you need a trainer to do that.


It says: "Chubs Gone Wild. A Party for Big Guys and Their Admirers." Are they wearing t-shirts and standing next to girls?
